Yes, you need both of hem. Not only that, but also the following things. I am going to explain here what are the essential things you need for a secure computing and internet browsing.
For a TOTAL computer security, you will need the following four things.
1. Antivirus
2. Anti-Adware or Anti-Spyware
3. Firewall
4. Internet Traffic Monitor and related Security Suite
I have posted the top ten antiviruses, , anti spywares and firewalls along with their links.
According to my experience, I would rate the antivirus softwares as follows.
1. Kaspersky http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/Kaspersky-Internet-Security.shtml

If you wanna follow what I do myself, get Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 (recently released) it has all the four security functions. Go and get it.
That will help you the best.
Good Luck fren!!!

Avast has built in antispyware, your anti-spyware software only needs to be run once a week to check for anything avast might have missed.

Yes, install spyware terminator is the best

Yes you need both. There is no antivirus program that catches everything. I use Bitdefender antivirus alng with Superantispyware and MalwareBytes. With these three you can get rid of just about anything. Also keep your firewall on and be careful.
